The Weekend...Short and Sweet

~Yesterday's sunset~

Did you have a nice weekend? Ours was good, as our son came home for a weekend visit. I did a lot bit of cooking and when we weren't visiting or playing card games, I was partying...online. The Grow Your Blog party was a lot of fun and I want to welcome my new followers. I'd like to follow everyone back, but a few didn't leave a comment and I can't find a link back for some of you from your GFC photo.

There were around 600 who signed up for this party and I still have many to visit yet. Many of the bloggers that participated in this party are mainly into needlework, quilting, etc., as well as other interests. My hope is to gather enough inspiration from talented bloggers to get back into a little crafting. And, I am planning on dusting off my sewing machine which has been sitting unused for too long and make a few pillow covers and valances for starters. Surely I can still sew a straight line!

I made a quick and easy sweet treat yesterday that was a hit. I'll share the recipe with you in my next post. Happy Monday to you!

What a beautiful way to end the day watching a sky such as this....I like your new header....And I am sure sewing will be like riding a bike...it will come back to you...I want to get back to sewing some myself...With a new grandbaby due in April, I want to make him a couple of quilts...

Happy Monday back to you too. I need to dust my sewing machine off and do a few clothes repairs. I gave my newer machine to my daughter who sews more and I use my mothers very old Singer sewing machine that still works great. I loved your post and your weekend thoughts. Blessings for all your great thoughts and photo's. I love following your blog.

Now that is one big party! It will take a while to catch up.Glad you got to spend time with your son. I miss all of mine. I'm thinking I'm going to wait until it's warmer before I go visiting any of them though!

Happy Monday your sky photo is too awesome! I painted a sky on fabric this past summer-first attempt at trying that-so now I really enjoy viewing the colors in sky more; it changes all the time Have a great week Kathy

I was visiting many of the Grow Your Blog participants. I decided not to comment or participate so that the outreach would remain clear. After all, I'm here nearly all the time. I'm glad that it was a success! It was an interesting post to read.

Happy Monday Cheryl, I did have a busy weekend with going to see hubby and then Sunday warmed up to 56, but when the front came through it was something else. I thought about your other half with the outages they had because of the high wind. I prayed that he didn't have to get out. I hope your son made it back to the city. I was glad to be home when the front came through. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

Parties where you don't have to dress up and go anywhere or even bring any food are a great idea, Cheryl. Glad you had such a great time and a good family get-together weekend as well. The sunset shot is beautiful too.

What a gorgeous sky. I call those great grandpa bunny bunny skies. Have you ever seen that book?

It's wonderful that your son was in to visit. I hope you got a good amount of time to spend with him. This blog party has us all so busy. So many people. I have been inspired by everyone's creations too. Such talented people out there.

Hi Cheryl. fantastic sunset shot. Glad you had a great weekend with your son. I am back from Scotland and now thankfully back to blogging. Was nearly caught in a snow blizzard and road was closed just after we past through and then we heard that the boat we used, broke down after the very rough crossing!!

yeah, that is great news. gorgeous view. look forward to your recipe next time ... i was looking to see that today is National Blueberry Pancake day ... but i don't have any blueberries ... looking for a cool recipe for some pancakes with no blueberries... we will see?! happy week. ( :

Hi Cheryl! What a beautiful sunset! Isn't it wonderful when you happen to see one at just the right times? I didn't hear about the Grow Your Blog thingy until too late. Will there be another one any time soon? I'm crazy to think about finding new blogs, since I can't even keep up with commenting on the ones I'm currently following!...such as yours! I'm so sorry I haven't been by in such a long time. Hope your week continues to be lovely!
